when i try to install i eventually get to a part where it says "installing java" and it just keeps going (I didnt wait too long maybe around 7 minutes and after that i just xed out and tried to install again but that time i got some error to which i clicked "skip" but then i got the "installing java" thing again) any help would be appreciated.

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked.

i got error 1606 while installing the java i got from your link

Note: my internet disconnected shortly after that error i will try again and post back (getting kinda antsy here lol >_>)

Are you sure that you're using the "offline" installer?
The fix for that error 1606 seems to be to use the offline installer.

i'm pretty sure it had something to do with my internet disconnecting cause after it reconnected its installing fine now just taking a while but its ok as of right now.

ok thanks for the help guys i got limewire up and running now i just have to makesure i dont download bad stuff anymore lol (sorry for double post)
